Prerequisites

To use the Marketplace Portal, review the following requirements:

The Marketplace Portal uses https and runs on port 8089, which is the default. If you customize the Marketplace Portal, contact your CSA Administrator to determine whether the port or protocol has changed.
You must use a browser that supports the Marketplace Portal. A minimum screen resolution of 1024x768 is supported. As a best practice, a screen resolution of 1280x1024 will give the best results. For information about supported browsers, see the Cloud Service Automation System and Software Support Matrix.
Use the following default Marketplace Portal URL: https://<CSA_HOST>:8089/org/<ORG_ID>

User Interface Customization

As an end user, you might want to use your organization's branding in the Marketplace Portal user interface.

To support your organization's branding styles and standards, you can customize certain user interface elements in the Marketplace Portal, such as the portal icon, the portal title, the portal welcome message, the portal footer message, themes, tiles, and security classifications. For instructions on how to customize these user interface elements, see the Customizing the Marketplace Portal whitepaper or contact your CSA Administrator.

Adaptive Content

The Marketplace Portal user interface layout is designed to adapt to various screen sizes, where the content adjusts to the size, and where all functionality persists.
